Few days ago, German security forces
arrested Haji Ahmedi, leader of the
Iranian Party for a Free Life of Kurdistan, or PJAK
at his residence along with two other senior members
of the group in another separate operation. Scores
of other Kurdish journalists and political activists
were apprehended across Europe with false links to
PKK. There is not a single month that some Kurdish
regime critics are not executed in Iran, as well.
Nearly two weeks ago, the capture of Abdul Malik
Rigi, the leader of Jundallah, a Sunni insurgent
organization based in Southeastern Iran was also
announced by Iranian intelligence services, on a
flight from Dubai to Kyrgyzstan.
The question posed here in mind is the simultaneous
arrest of two key Iranian opposition figures within
a two week time interval.
According to a New York Times report in October
2007, PJAK has had "direct or indirect discussions"
with American officials and Abdolrahman Haji Ahmadi,
reportedly visited Washington in summer. According
to reliable sources,www.ekurd.netCIA
has armed and provided intelligence to PJAK. Given
these facts, the US officials were exactly aware of
his whereabouts and extent of his activities. The
German secrete service was monitoring Haji Ahmedi
and his comrades around the clock.
In 2006 and 2008, the Iranian government officially
requested the German authorities to hand over
Abdolrahman Haji Ahmadi for his alleged role in
killing Iranian revolutionary guards. Germany had
turned down the appeal and refused to extradite him.
Why has Haji Ahmad and his colleges been arrested
now? Is this part of a secrete German-Iran treaty to
improve ties? Part of broader US efforts to
seriously cope with the so-called terrorist
organizations? Or…Many theories exist surrounding
the mystifying arrest of PJAK leader. What is
certain is it was a well-coordinated and timely
operation. The arrest of Haji Ahmadi resembles very
much to Abdulla Ocalan’s.
Almost most Iranian active oppositions groups have
been targeted including the Mujahadeen-e-Khalq (MEK)
in Camp Ashraf in Iraq. The behind-the-scene role of
Iran in the arrest of Haji Ahmadi and other
political opponents can not be denied.
Imprisoned in an unidentified location, the fate of
Haji Ahmadi remains in the hands of German
authorities.
We urge the German authorities to release more
details regarding the whereabouts of Haji Ahmadi and
his colleagues. We appeal to the world conscience to
emancipate peace-loving and freedom-loving Kurdish
leaders, journalists, intellectuals and political
activists and not deport them where they could face
death penalty for their political believes.
